This series is a verse-by-verse expository series on the Gospel of Luke. In this message, Pastor Jake leads us in studying Luke 9. In this chapter, Jesus gives some very odd and detailed instructions to the disciples as He sends them out. They couldn't stay in nice places or take anything with them... Why is that? Could it be that Jesus wasn't just concerned with the message they preached, but also the life they lived? The truth is, the message you preach had better line up with the life you live, lest you do more harm than good.

This series is a verse-by-verse expository series on the Gospel of Luke. In this message, Pastor Jake leads us in studying Luke 8:40-56. What is God's providence? Have you ever been able to look back on your life and see how what you've been through has gotten you right where you are here and now? In Luke 8, we see God's providence at work, but we also see desperation in the two people seeking Jesus' help. How do the ideas of God's providence and our desperation relate? How does faith relate to desperation?

This series is a verse-by-verse look at the Gospel of Luke. In this message, Pastor Jake takes us through the beginning of Luke 8. How important is it that you have "ears to hear"? What does that even mean? Is the responsibility with the speaker or the hearer when it comes to accepting the Word of God? Jesus seems pretty concerned with how you HEAR -- what kind of soil you are... May God bless you as you listen!

In the third week of this series, Pastor Jake focuses on our words. Each time we open our mouth to speak there is the potential for either life or death. What you say matters! If you want to change the life you have, change the words you speak.

In the second week of the series, Pastor Jake challenges us in the area of our thoughts. What you think matters, because thoughts create words, words create actions, actions create habits, and eventually habits are what create DESTINY. So, take a second to think about your thoughts — do tend towards negative thoughts or positive thoughts? Worried thoughts or peaceful thoughts? Worldly thoughts or eternal thoughts? Your life will always move in the direction of your strongest thoughts. Romans 12:2 says to let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. But how do we do that? Take a listen to find out!

Have you ever felt overwhelmed as you looked honestly at your life and saw some changes that needed to be made? Maybe you've given up before you even started because the task just seemed too big. In this message, Pastor Jake challenges us to realize that it's the small changes that no one sees that result in the big changes that everyone wants. Don't despise small beginnings!

Jesus came in a manger, lived a sinless life, died on the cross...but is there more? What do we have to look forward to? To hope for? There is more! He not only died, but rose again. And if He was raised, we too will be raised at His return!

I don’t know if you’ve thought about this or not, but you’re hardwired for hope. You don't live by instinct. Every decision you make, every choice you make, every response you have to the situations and relationships of your life is fueled and motivated by hope. Your story--the story of your life--is a hope story. Your happiest moments are hope moments. Even your saddest moments are about hope dashed or hope destroyed. You’re always looking for hope. You’re always attaching the hope of your heart to something.

The problem is that there is no created thing in this world that will be able to sustain your hope. Everything will fail you. Every person, job, or situation will eventually leave you hopeless. But that's not a bad thing, because hopelessness is the doorway to true Hope.
